STOCK SPECULATION
Develops into n Panic ON tn g
New York Exchange.

New York Exchange.
New YORK, July 30.-The selling
yesterday, which caused heavy liqui-
dation, developed into panic at the
opening of the Exchange this morn
ing, and stocks were sold at any sacri-
flee, the only object of the brokers
seeming to be the closing of accounts
of ruined spectators. The greatest
cause of the drain was the non-ap-
pearance of Harry Powers, who took
the place of Russell Sage as the lead
ing writer OF privileges on the street.
His business was large, and the oper-
ators held his puts and calls as secu-
rity against their stocks.
NO CASH REALIZED.
The news of the non-appearance of
Powers caused the offering of stocks in
such volume that prices began rapid
decline, which was only limited by
the fact that no cash could be realized
from any sales made to-day. Reading
fell per cent in the first hour, North
western so, st. Paul 21a, Missouri
Pacific 2ls, Canada Southern 34
Richmond Terminal 21a and Western
Union 2ls.
THE CLOSE.
The market continued extremely
active after IL A. NJ, and the fuctua-
tions were very violent. There was
less activity toward the close, but
everything remained feverish to the
end. The market closed unsettled,
but weak, and at about the lowest fig
ure reached.
U. A. Cameau, member of the Con-
solidated Exchange, and j. 9. Him,
another broker in the Consolidated
Exchange, have failed.
COTTON UNSETTLED.
There was a drop of thirty-six
points in cotton yesterday. The mar
ket opened very feverish this NOR
ming at the Cotton Exchange. The
sales for two and half hours ses-
sion aggregated III 800 bales, good
showing for Saturday. August closed
ten points below yesterday. Recov-
cry began half an hour before the
close OF the session and resulted from
reports Of the drought in Texas, and
the injurious effects Of the excessive
runs in Georgia and Alabama. In
the last half an hour the recovery
amounted to seven points all along
the line.

EyOODlER kLEHN
Creates a Scene in Court by
Pleading Guilty.

CHICAGO, July 30.-A sensation was
created in the court last evening by
George G. Klehm, President of the
Board of indicted Cook County Com
missioners. He arose and in an agi-
tated voice said to the Judge: "Your
Honor, l wish to withdraw my plea OF
not guilty, and enter instead plea of
guilty." The other twelve defendants
seemed panic-stricken, and in a mn
ment they grew haggard-looking. The
Judge accepted the plea, but on re-
quest of the States attorney, deferred
the sentence. Klehm is expected to
furnish further valuable information
if needed. The evidence against the
"boodlers" has been of most explicit
and damaging nature. The action OF
Klehm is regarded as sealing the doom
OF the other "boodlers."
FOLLOWING SUIT.
States Attorney Grinnell intimated
this afternoon that four more Com
missioners, Cassman, GIRLS, Oliver
and McCaughrey, might be expected
to plead guilty on Monday, throwing
themselves on the mercy of the court.

"WnI1HER are we drifting" is u
natural query which doubtless occurs
to the mind of any careful reader OF
the legislative and congressional pro-
ceedings. Congressional legislation
proposes 10 regulate the runnig of
railroads, manufacturing, strikes,
wages, etc, and during the short time
of our state legislature there have
been at least score of bills tending to
re ulate railroads, compel them to be
courteous to employees, secure the
railroad worker his wages and his
position, prevent strikes and interior
encc with trains, add bale ofcotton to
the articles of homestead exemptions,
to require railroads to 60 through and
give depot to towns within three
niles of their direct line, making it n
penalty to labor or compel others to
labor OH Sunday, and various other
measures, which should not be ncces-
sary in government of the people,
where perfect freedom of person and
property is guaranteed. The HERALD
does not propose to contend that
these measures are not necessary;
but, if they are, the country is GER
tainly drifting into what we some
time term and dread as strong gov
ernment."

Judiciary System.

In every policy, whether civil OIL
ecclesiastical. the judicial system is a
matter of the first Importance, and
needs to be adjusted with the greatest
care and accuracy to subserve the ends
of government in the repression of
wrong and the defense ofright. Laws
are mere abstract ons and cannot ell
force themselves, but must be eX-
pounded and faithfully applied to
serve their purposes, and it is quite
possible to have wise system OF legis-
iation and at the same time such
effective organism for enforcement as
that the laws will either be too lax or
too tardy in their operation, as is sup
posed to b, the case with our present
system. The privilege:of appeal is of
small value TO the citizen where he is
forced to wait long years before he
can have his rights determined, the
very lapse of time intervening work
ing incalculable injury, and, in some
instances, a practical denial
of Justice. Besides, it is inn
possible TO compute the loss in
money and peace of mind to the
citizen where he cannot have his ap-
peal heard, and his real or supposed
advantages speedily realized. The in
tcrests of every State need, above all
else, a strong bench, equal TO the in
tcllectual demands of the people, al.

called for in this direction is no small
matter 1t will take combined and

The foundation of successful self

there has been assigned to each, with
